THE BIG STRIKE.
The Ocean Steamship Line Not At
fccted by II.

fCctpH ny II.
The greatstrike in New York has not
yet interfered with the Ocean steamship
Line. As stated IN the dispatches, there
was no issus between the men engaged 10
loading the vessels OF the Savannah line
and the company. On the contrary. the
very best feeling mas always prevailed.
The company vas not interested In any
way IN tho quarrel, rs 1t received no
freights from the Old Dominion Line,
being, as it We're, com
petin& line nor was it con-
cerned In the strike against the coal
yards. The vessels have been c0aling at
this port fer some time past.
The men struck IN obedience TO the
orders oil their association, and apparently
with the most friendly feeling toward the
company, as they atterward helped load
one steamer without paw. The company
now has "a fun force OF men at work IN
New York which, though inexperienced,
viii IN few days be competent to handle
the work.
Prior to the strike the ships got all OF
their coal in New York. Now they
coal here for the round trip. A
few days ago one OF the ships carried,
besides It's own coal, a boutG0 tons for "A SIS
ter ship in New York. The shi ps consume
on an average about 200 tons a round
trip. Messrs. Dixon n Murphy have the
contract for cOaling the steamers, and are
furnishing them vita Scotch coal. 1t
pays 8 duty OF 7jc. a ton, but the import
ers OBTAIN rebate equal to the duty when
the coal is used by American steamers,
Formerly the rebate was allowed when
the coal was sold to foreign steamers, but
some months ago the Treasury Depart
ment made a new ruling, disallOwing the
rebate except when the coal is used by
American Sims. Since the strike begun
the New York steamers have loaded
about 1000 tons OF coal here.
